No Retirement Yet For DEEP PURPLE

23 April 2026

As the saying goes, “you’re never too old to rock ‘n’ roll.”

DEEP PURPLE (1968–1976, 1984–present / 23 LPs with 2024’s
‘=1‘ as the most recent one) are one of the many examples.

The band still features 3 key members, drummer Ian Paice (aged 77),
bassist Roger Glover (aged 80), and powerhouse voice Ian Gillan (aged 80)
and they still tour nonstop around the globe.

This summer they return to America.

Still smoking.

BECK – New Single And Tour

Former self-declared loser BECK (now 55) has released a brand new single,
called RIDE LONESOME. His first new music since 2023. It’s a smooth reverie,
produced by Nigel Godrich, who also produced three of Beck’s albums during
the late ’90s and 2000s. No indication whatsoever of a new longplayer.

Watch/Listen

Beck also announced North American tour dates for the fall.
